The Basics
Through Office 365, all faculty, staff, and students are given a StFX email address. This is your StFX username followed by "@stfx.ca". There are two ways to access your mail: using a local client, or access Outlook Online. The following section will help highlight these differences.

Local Client vs Outlook Online
A local client refers to an email application that is installed on a computer, that is given login information in order to view emails quick and easy. To access your emails via this method, you first need to set up the client with the proper StFX email settings (guides for this can be viewed by clicking here). Afterwards, the client can be launched by double-clicking the icon on the desktop.
To access Outlook Online, visit the Microsoft 365 homepage, log in with your full email address and password, and click the Mail tile.
We recommend that you use a local client as it offers complete functionality and supports multiple accounts.
